A General History of Europe (350-1900) (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from A General History of Europe (350-1900)
The authors of this General History of Europe venture to hope that their book will explain itself. The only matter concerning which they feel obliged to state their position in a prefatory word is the important point of the correlation of text-book and literature. They firmly believe that the use of any single and unaided text-a practice still common in our schools-is a misfortune and a calamity, and for that reason they desire to put themselves on record in the most definite terms against that ancient abuse. Their text consequently is conceived by them as a mere framework which the literature accompanying each chapter is intended to clothe and elaborate. This literature the authors have carefully selected with the needs of the beginner in their minds; they do not wish to weary and confuse him with a great mass of material; they desire merely to conduct him a stage or two upon the path of historical studies, but they are eager that that path should be the right path. The teacher is therefore very earnestly, enjoined to encourage in the pupil wide reading, and the habit of comparison and criticism.
